Don't understand why the Lord of the Rings films are so widely praised. I don't think the directing is that hot, the acting isn't great, and it's badly written. It's not like I'm been a snob wither. Like Gladiator isn't the greatest film in the world but I can see it was succesful for what it is. I don't think you can say the same about Lord of the Rings. I could really bore you on why I think it's badly written but it could all get far too technical. Cheers for your comments though. I like the Picasso quote. He did a series of woodcuttings and the last one is a visual representation of the role of the child-artist. Can't remember what it's called though.

you know, i liked the lord of the rings films for the most part when they came out, but now i have a hard time getting through them.
